Form & Verdict

2-4 since switched to middle-distance handicaps, the latter win gained in three-runner race at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) in August; raced too freely and was well beaten in first-time cheekpieces (retained) last month; not easy to predict on this AW debut.

Flopped at Thirsk on penultimate start but won over this sort of trip at Windsor and Newmarket in his other two handicaps, all three of them on good to firm; cheekpieces are installed after his narrow verdict in a three-runner race last time; lightly raced 3yo from whom more improvement is possible.

Form & Verdict
Clearcut winner of a Lingfield maiden (1m, AW) in January; didn't live up to market expectations on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (1m4f) last month but she ran into a major improver on that reappearance run; still has potential and she could kick on again on this switch to turf.

Both wins have been on AW (latest in March) and her only run at this track did not go well, when favourite over 1m6f on heavy on final start last term; close second with first-time cheekpieces at Goodwood (2m, good) on latest outing, however, is a notable positive.

Form & Verdict
0-8 but she's finished placed behind the highly progressive Pomme Pomme in last two starts; up 3lb but she didn't get much luck at Bath (1m2f, good) last time and this new trip looks worth exploring; interesting contender.

Four wins from 19 starts, the most recent success coming on the AW at Lingfield in April off a mark 2lb lower than today's; however, he was disappointing back on turf at Salisbury (1m4f, good) last month and needs to bounce back; first-time visor replaces cheekpieces.

Won his first two handicaps easily at Wolverhampton (1m4f, 9.5f) in March, but only fourth of seven at Southwell in his hat-trick bid; lost his race at the start, however, and wasn't disgraced in the circumstances; 78-day absence since then not a problem and he's in the mix.
